Title: Data communication system
Inventor: MIYAZAKI SHINICHI
IPC: H04M1/27
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A system for transmitting/receiving character or image data to/from a control terminal equipment 3 (such as a personal computer, an electronic pocketbook, or particularly a digital camera Fig.3) has a data communication adapter (data modem) 2 coupled to the control terminal 3 and to a telephone set 1 (eg. a mobile telephone). When a call is originated from the telephone set 1, either by use of the keys 12 or by recall from a telephone number memory 11, the number of the called station is also sent from a telephone number reporting section 13 of the telephone set 1 to a telephone number storing section 34 in the control terminal 3. If the connection to the called station cannot be established because of no response or a busy line, or if it is otherwise required subsequently to make another call to the same station, this can be automatically initiated under the control of the terminal 3 using the number held in the number storing section 34, without having to re-enter the number from the telephone set 1 and without having to provide key buttons for direct number entry on the control terminal 3 (which may have restricted space). The called number is also then indicated on a display 31 on the control terminal 3.

Title: Disposable electrochemical sensor
Inventor: STEWART ALAN ANDREW
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A disposable test strip for use in amperometric measurement of analytes in liquid media has three or more electrodes 4, 5, 5a connected to pads 3 which contact the measuring circuitry via conductive tracks 2. The resistance of one track is made higher than the others, by reducing the track width or making it of different material, so that different potentials can be maintained between different electrodes although a common potential is imposed on them. Two embodiments are described. In one, a glucose sensor has a working electrode coated with glucose oxidase and a ferrocene mediator, a dummy electrode coated with ferrocene mediator only, and having the high resistance track, and a pseudo reference/counter electrode of silver/silver chloride. The second embodiment has two measuring electrodes, for glucose and a ketone respectively, incorporating different enzymes and mediators, so that the electrodes respond to different electrical potentials, and a pseudo reference/counter electrode. The higher resistance track connects to the first measuring electrode.
